screenshot from the Information:

Earlier this year, OpenAI told investors it had generated $100 million in revenue last year from ChatGPT Enterprise, which is geared toward larger companies with more than 100 employees. That's about 3% to 4% of its total revenue from ChatGPT. Earlier this
year, the company projected $400 million in revenue from the Enterprise product in 2025 with 2 million subscribers, $1 billion in revenue next year with 4 million subscribers, and $6.2 billion in revenue for 2030 with 16 million subscribers.

TRAILBLAZE
TRAILBLAZE is an in-memory only dropper written in bare C that uses raw syscalls and is designed to be as minimal as possible, likely to ensure it can fit within the shell script as Base64. TRAILBLAZE injects a hook into the identified /home/bin/web process. It will then inject the BRUSHFIRE passive backdoor into a code cave inside that process.
BRUSHFIRE
BRUSHFIRE is a passive backdoor written in bare C that acts as an SSL_read hook. It first executes the original SSL_read function, and checks to see if the returned data begins with a specific string. If the data begins with the string, it will XOR decrypt then execute shellcode contained in the data. If the received shellcode returns a value, the backdoor will call SSL_write to send the value back.

Assuming there's effective political stuff to be done with respect to the USAID situation (which is uncertain to me), it's plausible that any hint of EA involvement would be affirmatively
counterproductive. Better to have more politically popular entities -- and entities not predominately funded by a guy who gave megabucks to the current officeholder's rivals -- in the lead for this one. If, for instance, EAs wanted to funnel money to any such entities, I suspect it would be savvy to do so quietly rather than talking about it on-Forum. It's possible that is playing a role in the lack of discussion here, although I too suspect this would have gotten more attention ~18 months ago.

interesting to think about partisan purchasing power parity wrt inflation expectations given the trends we’ve seen there like the aggregate demand vibecession likely just got a whole lot worse simply based on the partisan flip alone (before fiscal, trade and everything-else headwinds kick in)

Where Things Stand
• Gabbard confirmed: The Senate voted to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as President Trump's director of national intelligence. The success of one of Mr. Trump's more divisive cabinet candidates shows his domination over the Republican-led Senate: One Republican, Mitch McConnell, joined all Democrats in opposition.
Afterward, the Senate immediately began voting on whether to advance the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary, setting the stage for a final vote soon. Read more
